Kingdom. The son and successor of King David, Solomon was the third King of Israel, reigning from about 972 BC until his death in 922 BC. David's son by Bathsheba, Solomon was unexpectedly elevated to the throne after his half brother Adonijah had attempted unsuccessfully to seize the kingship. The young Solomon quickly mastered the situation, ruthlessly eliminating all the potential threats to his rule. His reign was marked by foreign alliances, especially with Egypt and the Phoenicians, and by military strength, and was thus untroubled by major wars or internal revolts, leaving him free to pursue other interests. Solomon fully exploited the economic possibilities of his empire and used the resulting wealth to support vast building projects, the most famous being the Temple in Jerusalem. He was also an author and a patron of literature, although many of the writings attributed to him--for example, the Book of Proverbs, Ecclesiastes, and the Song of Solomon--were not his work. Solomon's success in so many spheres contributed to his legendary reputation for wisdom, but his reign ended with simmering resentment over heavy taxes and the religious syncretism fostered by his marriages.

78. David, King of Palestine and Israel: Born 1085 BC, Bethlehem, Judah, Israel; Died 1015 BC, Jerusalem, Judah, Israel; Married 992 Jerusalem, Judah, Israel; Batheshaba, Queen of Palestine: Born about 1012 Jerusalem, Judah, Israel; Died 912/962 Jerusalem, Judah, S. Kingdom. David was the second and probably the most famous King of Israel. He reigned from 1002 until 962 BC His long career, beginning with his tortuous climb to power, is described in 1 Samuel 16-31, 2 Samuel, and 1 Kings 1-2. David entered the service of Saul, Israel's first King, but Saul's jealousy finally forced him to flee. He sought refuge first as a bandit leader, then as a Philistine mercenary. After Saul's death, David returned to Hebron where he was appointed King over Judah and, several years later, following a long civil war with Saul's heir, over Israel. David consolidated his power in Jerusalem, which he made the political and religious capital of his kingdom. Although God did not permit him to build a temple, he promised David an eternal dynasty in Jerusalem. This promise and the religious ideology that informed David's successful imperial expansion were the sources of Israel's later hope for a Messiah. The latter part of David's reign was marred by family problems and numerous revolts, two led by his own sons. The Bible portrays these evils as the bitter fruit of his adulterous affair with Bathsheba. In the Bible, Bathsheba was the beautiful wife of Uriah, one of King David's officers. David seduced Bathsheba, had Uriah killed, and then married her (2 Samuel 11-12). David was forgiven, however, and the son that succeeded him was Bathsheba's child, Solomon.

David was also an accomplished musician. Late tradition credits him with organizing the temple choirs and attributes many of the Psalms to him.
